Pros

There were a few nice people and some fab clients but not many other pros.

Cons

*Unrealistic expectations put on team but even when voiced management didn’t listen nor care. *Hybrid working…..sounds good but only applies so a select few. *Part timers hugely discriminated against and singled out. *Confidential and sensitive information (including personal health information and appraisal scores) discussed freely. *Very much a “if you face fits” culture. *Decisions for promotions biased and unfair whilst others who work much harder are barely recognised. *A toxic culture within the team but stirred up and led by management. *First time in a work setting I experienced bullying. *HR aware but powerless to fix things.

Pros

The firm offers a reasonable starting salary for trainees and provides generous study leave to support professional qualifications. Salary increases linked to exam passes are a positive incentive and help recognise progress towards qualification.

Cons

The workplace culture suffers from low staff morale and a lack of professionalism in certain teams. Management can be unprofessional, and communication is often delivered in a confrontational manner rather than being constructive. Instances of bullying behaviour were not always addressed effectively, which contributed to a difficult and stressful working environment.
